NIGP 51523: Gang Mowers for Lawns and Grounds, All Types

NIGP 51523 Gang Mowers for Lawns and Grounds, All Types, an Item code, encompasses the acquisition of both new mowing equipment and full-service grounds maintenance labor across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying individual mowers (zero-turn, trailed rotary, and tractor-mounted equipment), grounds equipment and supplies in bulk for multi-site districts, and contracted grounds maintenance services at county parks, wastewater facilities, transportation corridors, and airport infrastructure. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county parks and recreation departments, county boards of commissioners, city procurement divisions, special districts (community college systems), and state agencies. Counties appear across multiple recent opportunities, and some jurisdictions pursue both equipment purchases and labor services.

Activity spans Georgia (Chatham County Parks & Recreation, Douglas County Board of Commissioners, Georgia Department of Aviation), Florida (City of Orlando, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Collier County), and Texas (Collin County Community College District), with cooperative purchasing vehicles also active (Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment spanning multiple states and counties including Franklin County and Grant County in Washington). Representative recent opportunities include Chatham County Parks & Recreation's IFB for three Ferris Mid-Mount Zero Turn model ISX 3300 mowers due November 10, 2026; the City of Orlando's RFP for full-service grounds maintenance at wastewater and conservation facilities with landscaping and edging; the Douglas County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid solicitation for landscape maintenance at four I-20 interchanges due September 11, 2026 with a mandatory 15% DBE participation goal and local-vendor preference; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITQ for a single trailed rotary mower (estimated $47,000) with delivery within 180 days of purchase order. Single-source and renewal activity also appears, with Collier County pursuing a five-year sole-source contract with ATMAX Equipment Co. for MOWERMAX equipment service and parts effective June 28, 2026.
